You might want to look at the new TEAC reference series integrated, the AI-501DA. It's 30w at 8 ohm of Class D power. Very musical with USB, coax and TosLink inputs and a high-quality DAC. About $750 street.
Also, for a bookshelf or desktop system, it has a small footprint, about the size of letter size paper.
Plus, you can't deny the output meters are cool.
